Selecting only Unlicensed option didn't generate Unlicensed Games DAT

[dsync89]

Describe the bug I'm currently using Retool to generate 1G1R DAT for all Unlicensed Titles, instead of Licensed titles. When only keeping Unlicensed checked, there is no match.

To reproduce

1. Using NO-INTRO Nintendo - SNES
2. Retool exclusion

Expected behavior Game with Unl should be included, while still conforming to 1G1R rules.

Operating system

• [x] Windows 11

Retool edition

• [x] retool-gui.exe

Retool version v2.3.8-win-x86-64

For the GUI edition, click Help, then About.

Are you using custom global or system filters? If so, list them below

What other settings are you using?

Additional context

An alternative is to use Unl in the Override by text. But this won't generate 1G1R for Unlicensed, but rather including all Unl games, which is not desired.

That's not how excludes work. Unchecking an exclude doesn't mean that type is included, just that it's not excluded.

What you're seeing is what happens when a title belongs to two types. Since all your (Unl) titles are also games, and you chose to exclude games, you get no results.

The relevant feature requests are #249 and #333, however since Retool is no longer maintained, those features won't be implemented.

As a workaround, deselect Games as well and add the following text to the post filters:

(Unl)
(Pirate)
(Aftermarket)

This filters the output after the 1G1R processing to only include titles with those strings.
